That's why people don't go to Camp Nou anymore they are bored from all the winning, I say lose 4-0 to Chelsea on purpose and then we'll see Camp Nou packed for remontada 2.0

6-0*

Need to up the stakes

Out of curiosity: what's the greatest comeback in a 2-legged European tie before the CL format? I recall reading about some really crazy ones. Something like Madrid turning around an 8-2 defeat

Against top sides in 2013 we looked completely clueless. We should have lost 7/8-1 the return leg in the supercup against real and we should have lost the league match we drew 2-2 in Camp Nou too. The only shots on target we had were Messi's goals

This year we trashed Real and Juve 3-0 and we drew 0-0 in Turin. We are a typical Italian team now, if we lose in CL it will be by 1/2 goals, no one will trash us like Bayern did in 2013 or PSG and Juve did last year.

Even Juve last year wasn't comparable to how bad we were in 2013 (although PSG was). Against Juve it mostly came down to them being more clinical than us. Against Bayern in 2013 we couldn't even get out of our own half.

It's one of those things where the stats and scoreline don't tell the whole story, you had to watch the game to see how bad we were. 7-0 on aggregate was very flattering. Story of that season really.

Things are going great right now and Valverde helped create a atmosphere which is positive.

If you listen/read the interviews of the players he coached he seems like a father like figure. He's someone who can be stern but also be a great calming influence as well and he gets along with the players very well.

There were rumors that Lucho while he was respected, had a distant relationship with the players.

It's the same people that said Suarez, Rakitic were finished, Paulinho was trash and Messi is retiring, Vermaelen is shit, we lost Neymar, etc.

We practically won domestic double in early February after so many "fans" thought Barca were finished and Real would be trashing us. But that's not shutting them up. "Real tests" are yet to await us and I bet some of those "fans" would love if Barca lost just to be proven right.
